Image



I found this cool picture on a musky fishing website. I right clicked on the picture to save it to my computer. When I went to publish a new post it had the option at the top to add a picture. I clicked on that and uploaded this pic straight from my computer. Pretty simple.

Brainstorming Ideas

I believe we are supposed to be coming up with ideas for something that we can present in a variety of medias that will last around 3-5 minutes. I want to do something different that most people would not think of that is out of the classroom. I would like to do something involving wildlife conservation pertaining mostly to musky fishing. Musky fishing is a passion of mine and it is something that West Virginia has that not alot of other states can claim. I want to explain the ins and outs of the fish as well as how there needs to be a combined effort from everyone to not litter and keep your yards clean in case of floods. Does anyone think this is a good idea?....bad idea?.....I could always change ideas throughout this class.

Still figuring things out

I am new to the blogging scene so this might not be as easy for me as other people. I am also one of the few people that I know that does not have facebook or myspace. I try to spend as little time as possible on the computer especially since I take classes on it and they require most of my time to be spent sitting at computer. I just set up my delicious account and put my resume up so check them out.
